The easiest way to decide if you need a animal studies training is to ask yourself the following questions:

Will I be using animals or animal tissues?

Will I be doing any animal behavioral studies?

Does my work include trapping of animals?

Does my work include any type of handling of the animals?

If a field study will any animals be impacted or disrupted by my work?

If you have answered yes to any of these questions you will probably need a protocol.
